But it's possible to get the first known Timecode on the DV tape and draw it with this filter until conversion ? no ?
You need to get it with a VTR first if ffmpeg is not able to extract it from the DV stram.

It should (almost certainly will) be present inside the DV frame data stored in the AVI. Depending on what software was used to capture, the file's start point timecode may also be duplicated in the AVI metadata (in a "tdat" chunk, often at the end of the file). But I'm not sure that ffmpeg can read either of these, or if there's any way to automatically use the information as a text overlay if it could.
